Just a general question. I notice a lot of guys in my gym tend not to do them, especially the heavier guys. It's rare to see a 200lb+ person do them where I go.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Chinups........how many in a row can you do?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

They are much easier for smaller guys. I remember having a pull-up competition every year in junior high school. The kid who won was always nearly the smallest kid.
The Marines have pull-ups in their physical fitness test, at least for men. The points max out at 20 reps.

I hardly do chin ups as the extra extension required to get chin above the bar hurts my shoulders. This is exacerbated by the fact that I usually do weighted pull ups w/ 90-100 lbs around my waist and have shoulder problems. I do pull ups on a regular basis... where the bar gets to around eye-nose level during the pull phase.
My record for pull ups is 27 in a row. I believe I was in the high 160 lb range at the time. Right now, when I'm fresh I can usually cork out 23-24. Currently body weight is 172. Being lighter definitely helps a lot.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Max I've done is 3 sets of 8 at the end of a workout. Dead-hang, no hip swing. Maybe 12 in a row if I'm fresh. BW 80kg.
My Dad is very good at this. I saw him pumped out 40 at 56 years old. He said he could do 100 at my age. He's only about 63kg though. That was one of his main exercises as he's never had access to weights or anything fancy.

I do at least four sets when I hit the gym and I average about 13 reps in a set. My max is 17.
